Good IF all your drives are physically small

First of all, it's clearly a niche product. One of my hobbies is playing Hi-Res (24bit) music on flash drives through my Oppo. I have over 100. My current system is to number each disc with a sticker and keep track of which albums are on each disc in an Excel spreadsheet. But how do you save them? So far I've stored discs in 2 ziplock bags: 1 for discs I've played and 1 for discs I haven't played. The biggest problem is that spontaneity is almost impossible. In this case I can store them in numerical order. I still have to check the excel sheet, but this saves me 20 minutes sorting through floppy disks in my bag. This is an acceptable solution if you only have physically small disks. Unfortunately, my favorite engine is the original Corsair Voyager slider, which has since been discontinued. These discs (and a couple of Kingstones) are too big for the case. Especially with older Corsairs I have to forcefully close the fuselage. I pray this doesn't damage the discs as I have 15-20 of them. And the Kingston cover needs to be removed to fit. If any of the Corsairs become unplayable I will update this rating (to 1 star). Some of my other drives really need to be stuffed too. They made the holes a bit too small for pretty much anything that isn't a budget, mass-market drive (Lexar, Verbatim, Sandisk, Adata, etc.). It's really a shame. If they just made the holes and the depth of the whole case a little more (1/4" at the holes, 4" at the depth of the case when closed) I would give it 5 stars. If you're just mass selling physically smaller drives (and I'm not talking capacity, I'm talking actual size) this should work great for you. And that's why I'm very concerned about Corsairs. I found it wouldn't fit into my biggest box, so I now have it on top of a large stereo component that I rarely turn on with the lid open. Such a niche market, it would be useful for the manufacturer to think about end users.

Pros
  • Organize and store your USB flash drives, SD/mini/microSD memory cards, small computers | Audio and electronics, peripherals, adapters, small parts etc.!
Cons
  • I have no aversion to it, everything is fine
